Drugs u knows are silent killers.Drugs can be heroine, opium or charas.They attack mind, brain and body of the addict. A drug addict is stigma for the society.His family and people concerned soon started hating him. A stage comes, when he is isolated from the whole society. Drug addiction in on rise in India.Earlier, in foreign countries. drug addiction was there. But it has been on rise in India. More and more people are now-a-days are becoming addicts.There are number of reasons which are responsible for increase in the number of addicts. Firstly, we can say that as there is increase in unemployment, more and more teenagers are becoming wayward and taking to addiction. Secondly, due to increase of exposure to media. Media is very much responsible for the rise in drug addiction. Thirdly, lust for more money. Drugs peddling is one of the major sources of income. It is a way to earn a quick buck.More people are indulging in the profession of drug peddling.This drug peddlers can be seen near schools, colleges and universities.
They lure even small school children. Even more teenage girls are taking up to drugs. Once taken, a drug becomes so much a part of one’s requirement that if it is not taken, a person’s body started aching. Then he is forced to steal money to get his doze of drugs.Sometimes, drug addicts do very big crimes in order to fulfill their need for money to buy drugs. U can see a number of records where heinous crimes of murder and kidnapping have been done to earn a big buck by addicts.This addiction has not spared any section or age group of people. Normal people without criminal records are roaming free on roads thus endangering the lives of innocent people.Not only underprivileged people have taken into this habit of drug addiction, but there has been increase in cases where a number of educated engineers, doctors, popular sportsman have been taking to drug addiction.
Drug addiction in on rise in almost every state, what to say small suburbs. Poor farmers who are debt-ridden are even not spared.They and their children sometime start taking to this habit in order to reduce tensions.
It is high time that Govt. must step in the scene to stop this menace from being rising. Situation is becoming alarming day by day.Social organizations should come forward to help people in distress.People should also join their hands to stop this menace from rising.Social Groups responsible for improving the issue say that govt. is also responsible for making the situation difficult. It is time that some strict laws should be made.Govt. people who are indirectly getting a share in the money made through drugs should be taken with heavy hands.Teenagers should themselves take vow not to indulge habit of drugs. Parents should also play a role by checking habits of their wards.I personally think that media can play a very important role in improving the situation by showing documentaries on drug addiction.It is with the effort of everyone that this menace can be checked.
